Nethy Bridge New Build Mastic
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for homes and businesses in Nethy Bridge and across Highland. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
How we handle new build mastic in Nethy Bridge
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and internal frame sealant that has split, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Nethy Bridge, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Nethy Bridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
New build mastic in Nethy Bridge: local notes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nethy Bridge
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Plot handovers
- Kitchens
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Nethy Bridge
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly and cracked sealant shows up.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For jobs in and around Nethy Bridge, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
